“Just a short walk from Wawel Castle and the Jewish Quarter, this hotel impressed me with its quirky, art-filled interiors. It's the kind of place where you get a feel for Krakow's charm, especially with those Wawel views from the upper floors. For the price, you get a cozy base in a prime location.”
